Government data revealed in a recent report shows that the Toronto Police Service has been reporting over 100 Torontonians to federal immigration enforcement every week, contrary to its mandate, and in violation of the Toronto Sanctuary City policy.

Then, as part of Free City Radio’s Community Conference Series, Professor Mritiunjoy Mohanty of the Indian Institute of Management Calcutta will be giving a talk entitled «Resistance and transition in neoliberal India» this Tuesday at La Passe.
